Antique Regency Dining Chairs C1820

19th century
For Sale by MebleinUK
Description

An elegant pair of antique Regency dining chairs dating from the early nineteenth century, circa 1820–1840. Crafted from solid mahogany, these chairs feature beautifully shaped sabre back legs, turned front legs and a striking scroll-carved crest rail inspired by classical Greek and Roman design.

The sweeping lines and refined proportions are characteristic of the Regency period, while the rich mahogany grain and deep green velvet upholstery give the chairs a timeless and sophisticated appearance. The carved scroll details on the top rail are particularly impressive and reflect the craftsmanship of the period.

Both chairs are sturdy and comfortable, making them suitable for everyday use as dining chairs, hallway seating or elegant accent pieces in a traditional or contemporary interior.

Seat height: 42 cm

The green velvet seats remain in very good condition, complementing the warm tones of the mahogany frame beautifully.

Condition: Very good antique condition, with only minor signs of age and use consistent with their history. Strong and solid frames throughout.

Regency dining chairs, originating from early 19th-century Britain, are characterised by classical proportions inspired by Greek and Roman antiquity. Common features include curved crest rails, turned or sabre legs, and mahogany frames.

Craftsmen predominantly utilised dense Cuban or Honduras mahogany for frames, appreciated for its grain and stability. Joinery relied on traditional mortise and tenon joints, with seat frames upholstered in horsehair stuffing and fabrics such as velvet, silk, or wool damask.

Authentic 1820s pieces feature hand-cut joinery, subtle tool marks underneath the frame, and natural patination on the timber. Original seat rails often display hand-planed surfaces and historic iron fastenings.

Regency dining chairs pair effectively with modern minimalist dining tables to provide historical contrast. Re-upholstering the drop-in seats in contemporary linen or vibrant velvet integrates the classic mahogany frame into modern colour schemes.

Keep mahogany chairs away from direct sunlight and central heating sources to prevent wood shrinkage and finish deterioration. Apply a high-quality beeswax polish annually with a soft cloth, following the direction of the timber grain.
